Tiffany Kelley knew better than anyone that many things in this world were not coincidences,


    One had to be extremely lucky to have everything go smooth safling. The so–calledeuppance was simply a strong supporter offering protection and watching one’s back.


    When Tiffany thought of this, she realized that she was getting increasingly indebted to Richard Hampton


    Therefore, after sses ended that afternoon, Tiffany got into the car with her backpack. She hearded for Royal Bay with a pair of very cute dolls in her hand.


    The female doll was wearing a small wedding dress while the made was wearing a groom’s suit.


    The dolls were so cute and extremely lovable.


    She put away the female doll. As for the male doll. Tiffany looked at the male doll’s handsome eyes and ambiguous smile and thought that it resembled Richard Hampton a lot.


    She figured Richard probably looked like this doll when he was young if she was fortunate enough to see his childhood photos,


    As Tiffany sat in the car, she began to imagine Richard’s reaction when he received this doll. Would he be surprised or happy? Or would he think that it was too childish?


    He would probably find it both childish and surprising…


    Tiffany burst outughing and pinched the doll’s face.


    Soon, the car arrived at Royal Bay


    Tiffany alighted and walked into the estate as usual.


    The security system here was very tight, and it used high–tech surveince systems. This system automatically allowed Tiffany in after scanning her face.


    She walked in unimpeded.


    After passing through the main gate of Royal Bay, Tiffany crossed thewn and garden until she reached the front door of the vi. Just as she was about to enter, the door swung open.


    Tiffany was expecting to see John Ross or Garry York but to her surprise, a woman appeared before her eyes.


    To be precise, a beautiful woman appeared before her eyes.


    The woman had a beautiful face with well–defined features. She was gorgeous and mboyant. Her long wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her lookid–back and sexy.


    On top of that, she was wearing a bathrobe.


    It was obvious that she had just taken a bath.


    Tiffany was caught by surprise.


    This was the first time she had seen a woman other than herself in this vi.


    In the past, whether it was Mia Lee or Wendy Trujillo from Traron City, they were turned away outside the gate. They were unable to enter the vi despiteing to Royal Bay many times.


    Yet this woman standing before her was not only inside the vit Royal Bay, but she was also wearing a bathrobe…..


    The implication was clear. She was staying here and with his approval too….


    While Tiffany was in a daze, the woman inside the vi was also zing her up.


    That woman observed that this girl standing outside was only 18 years old, but she was already so beautiful. She was like a ssic beauty who had stepped out of a painting. It was not an enggeration to say that she had the looks tounch a thousand ships.


    With such mesmerizing beauty, it was no wonder that Richard Hampton became bewitched and yearned for her. He even gave up that thing for her..


    The woman smiled and extended her hand. “Hello. You must be Miss Tiffany Kelley, am I right? I’m Yvonne Shaw.”


    Hello. Tiffany shook the other party’s hand in a cursory fashion before withdrawing her hand.


    Then she asked. “It seems like you know me, Miss Shaw?”


    “Of course, Miss Kelley. Before I came back, Garry York and Sidney Pauley mentioned you many times to me. Now that I have met in person today, you certainly live up to your reputation.”


    Yvonne was smiling brightly, but there was an underlying meaning in her words.


    She exuded the attitude of a mistress of the house, an attitude that warned Tiffany not to seduce men just because she was prevy.


    In particr, she could forget about those men she should not have designs on.


    No doubt Tiffany understood Yvonne’s underlying meaning. Instead of feeling angry, she felt likeughing. Hence, she raised her head and asked leisurely, “Miss Shaw, are you done? Can you move aside?”


    Tiffany made her attitude clear too.


    This woman assumed that Tiffany was a love rival but Tiffany only thought of her as a nuisance.


    For no good reason, this woman simply nted herself here to block the entryway. Perhaps what she needed was a pedestal to perch on and she could be an entrance gargoyle….


    Yvonne gagged, and the smile on her face turned icy. “Mr. Hampton isn’t in right now. If there’s anything, you can tell me, Miss Kelley.”


    She deliberately emphasized the words “You can tell me.”


    Tiffany rubbed her nose a little before forcing her way in.


    Yvonne didn’t stop her. She followed Tiffany to the living room and sat down. She seemed determined to ensure that Tiffany couldn’t meet Richard. She even poured Tiffany a ss of water.


    Sure enough, Tiffany did not meet Richard.


    While waiting on the sofa, she called him several times on the phone, but the line was either busy or no one answered the call


    She lost count of how many times she called, but none of them got through.


    After watching Tiffany’s futile attempts, Yvonne saidnguidly, “He’s been very busy recently. He might not evene back today. Miss Kelley, if you have something important to tell him, I can help you pass the message.”


    After saying that, her gazended on Tiffany’s doll and shemented, “This doll is very cute.”


    Tiffany was in no mood to wait any longer. She stood up and got ready to leave.


    After some thought, she put the doll down. “Please give this to Mr. Hampton for me. Thank you.”


    “Will do.” Yvonne answered readily.


    However, the moment Tiffany left, Yvonne gave a scornful snort and tossed the doll into the trash can.


    By the time Richard returned, it was already midnight.


    When he caught sight of the male doll in the trash can, he frowned and asked, “Who’s been here?”


    Yvonne followed him and said with a smile, “Nobody. That things mine. I threw it away because it was dirty.”


    Richard did not say anything else and walked off.


    From the moment he entered to the moment he left, the man never once looked at Yvonne.


    Yvonne gritted her teeth and ran after him. “Mr. Hampton, Garry York has already received the news. L’estimate that arge number of assassins wille here over the next two days. As long as we follow them, we will definitely be able to…


    To her surprise, before she could finish speaking, she heard a downright chillymand.


    “Intercept and neutralize the threat.”


    “Mr. Hampton?” Yvonne was puzzled.


    “Leave no one alive.” Richard turned around to face Yvonne.


    His pitch–ck eyes were chilly, and his handsome face exuded determination and ruthlessness.


    He looked at Yvonne and enunciated every word as if he was warning her.


    “My subordinates only need to listen and obey.”


    “Yes, Sir…” Yvonne lowered her head.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    That was right. She was just a subordinate.


    It was not easy for her to get permission to return to Lovell City and return to his side. If she showed any signs of overstepping her authority, he would definitely kick her out without hesitation.


    She must not mess up..


    Yvonne warned herself repeatedly in her heart. If she couldn’t hold back and identally revealed her thoughts, she would never have the chance to see him again in the future….


    Having said that, she still felt very indignant.


    They had searched for the key to unlock the treasure for so many years and had nned for so many years.


    Yet now, because of the appearance of a wretched girl, he did not hesitate to forfeit all his hard work in order to eliminate all the killers who were a threat to her.


    Yvonne gritted her teeth. Her eyes had turned bloodshot.


    Looking at the cute doll in the trash can, she gave a scornfulugh and issued apletely different order to her subordinates.


    “Keep a close eye on the movements of those assassins. We must find out the whereabouts of the key. As for all the people on the hit list…. regardless of whether they are dead or injured, ignore them,”


    It so happened that Tiffany’s name was on the hit list.


    Those assassins had been looking for the key for many years and were already desperate.


    Therefore, all the girls who were about the same age as the lost princess of the Azure Sea Royal Family were on that list.


    Yvonne sniggered.


    Just like the analogy whereby the mantis stalked the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it, as long as she followed the clues and let those assassins lead the way, she would intercept and neutralize the threat once she found the key.


    Even if she disobeyed Richard’s order, he probably wouldn’t me her when the key was found.
